Sour Ale 4 º

Nurme
OneTwo

Dog Days is a refreshing Straight Sour Beer that captures the essence of a summer grill session. This collaboration between Nurme and OneTwo presents a vibrant profile where the sweet tartness of dark plums meets a delicate breeze of smokiness. The lactic acidity is clean and lemony, providing a crisp backbone for the stone fruit character. A subtle crackery malt presence supports the tart fruit without overshadowing the peculiar yet balanced smoky twist. Despite its sessionable 4% ABV, it offers a sophisticated interplay of savory campfire notes and bright, acidic fruit, making it an ideal companion for the hottest days.

Appearance. 3-6 SRM; pale copper with reddish hues from plum; large, dense white head with poor retention and light lacing; slightly hazy.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant sharp lactic sourness with lemony notes. Pronounced tart plum aroma, resembling fresh skin and sweet flesh. A distinct but gentle background of clean wood smoke. Low bready and crackery malt. No hop aroma. Clean fermentation character without funk or Brettanomyces.

Taste. Initial impression is of assertive, clean lactic sourness. Dominant tart plum flavor provides a sweet-sour balance. Low grainy and crackery malt flavor supports the acidity. Subtle, well-integrated smoke adds a savory complexity in the mid-palate. No hop flavor or bitterness. Finish is dry and crisp with lingering notes of tart stone fruit and a faint smoky wisp.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high, effervescent carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Crisp acidity provides a refreshing, prickly sensation on the tongue. Smooth, with no astringency despite the presence of smoked malt and fruit skins.
